I think I may have found a workaround to this quirk.

1. Download PStools from http://www.sysinternals.com
2. Download HiberMon from http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...5&postcount=19
3. Setup HiberMon to hibernate using the .ini file and link it in startup folder
4. Make a .bat file for PsKill that reads "c:\Pskillfolder\pskill.exe iGuidanceUMPC (without the quotes) and name it Hibernate.bat
5. Go to your ExecTBL.ini file in the RoadRunner directory. Look for "ONSUSPEND",""
6. Make that line read "ONSUSPEND","C:\whateverfolderyouputyourbatchfiles in\Hibernate.bat"

What should happen is your HiberMon will automatically hibernate your LAPTOP when it senses battery power (I set my time to 300 seconds = 5 minutes). Once your computer initiates Hibernate, RR will sense this and and run your Hibernate.bat file. This will tell pskill to stop iGuidance before you go into Hibernate.

When you Resume your comuter, all you need to do is go into GPS (since your front end is still running), and IG3 will start right up, and your GPS receiver will be seen. The reason I mad a blank Resume.bat file is because HibernateTrigger will not allow you to keep the "run on resume" value blank.

This workaround will have to do until the newer RR patches allow for us to implement a shutdown within the code like Matrix has noted above.

BTW: PsKill can be used to kill almost any process in windows.

*EDIT* Tested this new method, and it works so far.
